Smart Meters and Social Networks

Finland reportedly is undertaking a project that will link people’s smart meters with their smart phones. People will be able to save energy and money just by touching their phone screens, which will signal their home meters to, for example, raise or lower the thermostat. People also will be able to share the green power they generate onsite with their neighbors. Just imagine how much faster the world will embrace clean energy if and when young people use their smart phones to encourage their friends to go green.
